Horse welfare advocate Joy Braunstein started an online petition calling for a ban on horse meat being served in any Pennsylvania restaurant.

She argues that horses can contain a lot of pesticides or other toxins, and should not be for human consumption.

Cure's owner says the dish was available for one night only and it is not a part of its usual menu.
